I had a table for an old CRT TV (they were heavy as hell) that I repurposed as a low aquarium stand which is underneath the LCD TV hanging on the wall.

#2 is definitely a male. These fish are terrors. They’re fine in a community tank while they’re young. Once mature they killed a small school of Corys over night

Could I have more than 1 in a 29 gallon.
Yes

@Taco Playz try true Siamese Algae Eaters. They wont eat your plants but do a great job controlling your algae issues.

@BucioI have one diagonally in a 10 gallon. It’s working fine.

Paul, thanks for sharing. Do you have any pictures? I would love to see what your setup looks like.
The top picture is the 120 sorry it’s not very current the lower picture is my 40 breeder which is current. Both tanks have Stingray 2.0 on them

Thanks! Can you recommend a 100w heater that’s adjustable?
BTW, is your profile photo a Cane Corso? Those are beautiful dogs 🙂
@KyleKVKI use Eheim Jager & Aquatop heaters in my tanks. I would also invest in a controller like Inkbird. Yes that is my Cane Corso in my profile.

I have Kribs in a 40 breeder. They share the tank with Panda Corys, Von Rio Tetras, Brilliant Rasboras, & Ottos. The Kribs are raising fry with no issues.

I have a Stingray 2.0 on a 120 24” deep. I’m growing dwarf sagg, swords, pogo octopus, dwarf lily, & water sprite.

@KyleKVK it looks like you have a male & female. The top picture is the female look at the tail it's rounded while the males' is spade shaped. Apistos in general like warm water 82-84F and if your heater can't be adjusted you're probably not going to see much in the way of breeding activities. The Cardinals will live very happily in those temps.

Try adding some Aragonite to a mesh filter bag. It will help buffer your water and bump up your pH some. This will not happen over night so give it some time.
Aragonite and PH? - The Planted Tank Forum
WWW.PLANTEDTANK.NETSo I want to do a shellie cichlid tank with some needle and windelov java. My LFS stocks cichlids at 8.2. They are adamant about me raising my ph toYou can also add some small pieces of flagstone. With all that being said once you start chasing pH you won't stop.

Everyone seems to be taking a break from breeding for the moment. The second pair to breed may have actually hatched their batch of eggs, but I never saw any wigglers after that. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a month or two to get the first batch of babies.
The pair in my 120 have been spawning every week to 10 days Since I put the new male in the tank. Unfortunately the clutches have all fungused over. Good luck @Daniel

I’d say 6-8 should spread diffuse the aggression.
-
The controller is used so the water never gets below 68 and shuts the heater off at 72. I don’t think this will affect the other fish you’re considering adversely.

It doesn’t work that way. Water always goes through the coarse media before the fine the other way around the fine media will constantly clog.

I have two tanks.
In my 40gallon I have a 3 inch kribensis. He’s very chill and doesn’t disturb any of his tank mates.
In my 29 gallon I have a 1.2-1.5 inch male kribensis that I took from a friend that didn’t want him. the issue is he’s aggressive towards the corydoras. My corys are full grown but their fins are getting destroyed.
should I put the little male kribensis in with the big one in the 40 gallon?
anyone with experience would be highly appreciated.this lil krib is stressing me out.
thanks 🙏🙏
Kribs are cichlids after all and can be aggressive. So how do you reduce that aggression you add more kribs. I have a 40 breeder with Kribs breeding in it and they barely acknowledge the other fish.

Apistogramma borellii are an excellent choice for a room temperature aquarium. I have kept and bred them in a 65°F - 70°F aquarium and at that temperature I suspect they considered it very warm. I have heard they have been found thriving in the wild in 45°F water.
I haven't kept Buenos Aires tetras but you can tell by the name that they come from cooler waters (Buenos Aires being further South) so your temperature range will be perfect for them.
As @Danielsaid the Gymnogeophagus & A borelii come from cooler waters. With that being said I’d still keep a heater in the tank with a controller on it set to a range of 68-72. This way if you decide to put Corys in this tank the water will be tolerable for them.

So say I was thinking of drilling the bottom of a tank to run airline that way in order to hide it. It doesn't seem that it would require modifications other than just not using the base iirc there's actually a spot on both ends to connect airline but I just wanted to check. Is there any reason it wouldn't perform as well in that configuration?
If concealing the air lines is the issue CoOp sells black air lines. No need to drill especially the bottom of your tank.

This my 40B. Panda Corys, Ottos, Kribs, Von Rio Tetras, and Brilliant Rasboras.

where to get this?
I bought it on Amazon but they don’t carry this version any more. If you ever see this version buy it because fish loose their mind over it.

It’s perfectly natural behavior there’s nothing to worry about.
